Getting started with KTern.AI

KTern.AI is an automated Digital Workspace focused on SAP S/4HANA transformations and has ready-to-use automation features for project execution and business operations. Its auto-learning knowledge base engine S4HANAPEDIA.AI enables stakeholders with intelligent insights across all phases of the SAP Activate Methodology – Discover, Prepare, Explore, Realize, Deploy, Run.

Project Creation

Once you login to KTern.AI, you’ll be taken to the Project Launchpad. A project launchpad is nothing but a repository of all projects that the user is a part of. You can create a new project for an

  • S/4HANA Implementation
  • System Conversion
  • Selective Data Transition
  • SuccessFactors implementation
  • C4C implementation

In addition, KTern can be used in the Run Mode of any project. You can also pre-define the project timeline and set up a project calendar. KTern will then automatically pre-generate an SAP Activate based project plan which can be customized according to your needs. If not, you can also upload a project plan from an excel sheet into KTern.

Workspace

After launching a project, a user will land up on the “My Workspace” screen by default. It is a dashboard which contains an overview of all the work items that you are a part of in the project. There are three main types of work items in the workspace – Tasks, Issues and Test Cases.
